At work I have a multi-petabyte cluster in MongoDB Atlas with no issues. The managed service is fantastic; I'm going to need some citations on how it degrades after a few terabytes…

It started as a proprietary database. Apple acquired it and then open sourced it eventually.

I lamented this exact situation in a post I made last week. I'm with you on this completely.

Fair point re: "someone has to start the project". I think Yugabyte is neat, and I want to invest in it as a platform, but I can't help but look at the project and feel like it's n…

I really liked RethinkDB (maybe even loved?), but its demise is one of those cautionary tales that makes me wary of these single-corporate-sponsor databases.

Cassandra does feel the best here to me. Thanks for the experience report, maybe I should test out how it runs when confined to somewhat small scale.

My point is that for small scale for my uses the differences between these databases are mostly academic. I am fully confident in my ability to model data around their various cons…

Perhaps I'll have to test it out at larger data sizes. The performance document makes it sound like this is here-there-be-dragons territory. I'd love to see how the database holds …

I agree, if you want to offload a lot of this to Kubernetes there seems to be quite a bit more out there. Percona has some neat stuff.

Yeah, sounds like most folks agree this doesn't exist simply because it's very challenging to implement.

Rqlite is an awesome project but it's not intended for use above a couple GB, like etcd. Sorry, dataset size is what I meant by cluster-size which was a confusing way to put it. Yo…

I have contributed code to projects "owned" by one of these types of organizations and after 8 months of waiting for my (very small) patches to be reviewed because I wasn't interna…

I am very interested in any project that implements multi-active SQLite clusters with no cluster size limit, do you have any links for me?

From my research I think Cockroach, Yugabyte, and Scylla are all interesting and solid products depending on the exact API/guarantees you're looking for. For products I don't even …

I'm a single engineer who wants to run a database by myself, no cloud vendors involved. I don't really care about scalability to a point, I don't really care about the API to inter…
